(SW:AOTC) - Jango Fett - the precursor "clone" that eventually lead to Boba Fett and many thousands of others
(the noisiest of the SW films )
But aside from that rant about "Attack of the Clones, R.I.P. to the actor who played the original Boba Fett, and kudos for his performance that managed to capture the imaginations of a whole segment of the SW fandom.

One silent slow nod of respect from me for this man.
